By Camille Paglia Very good review by an interesting woman. She is the first to explore Hillary's Religious bent. I wondered at her attendance at Senate Prayer meetings. Both she and Bush are Methodists. Bush talks about it, she doesn't. I think that is because Bush's comes from the Southern wing of the Methodists, who tend to be more evangelical.

Daley turns tables on media over N.Y. Times scandal I am sure every Politician that read this said, "Amen, brother!" BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter - Chicago Sun Times Mayor Daley could barely contain his glee Friday about the plagiarism scandal that touched off the journalistic equivalent of an earthquake. For once, the shoe was on the other foot. The spotlight was on deception and fraud by those who cover the news--not on the politicians they love to put on the hot seat. Daley was loving it. Like Arizona Diamondback Mark Grace gloating about former teammate Sammy Sosa's corked bat, the mayor couldn't wipe the smile off his face. "When you question a politician, people are going to question your credibility in journalism--and they should. Why not? You question me. They should question you. You should not be separate or immune from this," Daley said. "You question religious organizations on a lot of issues. When someone questions you--talk about the [code of silence by] the men in blue. The men and women in your industry just tie up together [saying], 'You can't criticize us.' You criticize everyone else, but you cannot take the heat. There's credibility in every profession. But when it comes to you, none of you can take the heat.".........Asked Friday if he thinks the problems at the New York Times will be the first of many media scandals, Daley said, "That's up to you to find out. I hope you have investigative reporters on it. You ask me, 'Why are you doing this?' Why don't you do that to your own profession? You know you're not going to do it. You question the Police Department, the business community and everyone else. But when it comes to you, oh no. Sacred ground. Hide it." But the New York Times did come clean in an extraordinary expose that ran on its own front pages. Daley was unimpressed. "They had to come out with it. It was notorious. Look what all of the young reporters said about it," he said. suntimes.com
